RE: course evaluations

[RICHARD PISACRETA]

I went to that website where schools and profs are evaluated. I joined up 
with ficticious information. Now, I could (as a pseudostudent) give my 
courses glowing evaluations while slamming the courses of peers that I do 
not like, i.e., there is no preventing a person from evaluating a professor 
whose course they were never in.
Add the fact that expected grade is the best predictor of course 
evaluations, and the fact that freshman have no frame of reference with 
which to grade college profs, and imho, the site is useless to anyone who is 
not naive.
